Neo-News #1: Not Just Superheroes...But We’ve Got Those Too!

The first two issues of The Charlton Arrow (with #3 shipping soon!) have struck a
cord with fans of the classic Charlton Comics line and new readers alike...not
to mention creators old and new who have been popping up everywhere wanting to
be a part of the Arrow Action, including Charlton Comics veterans like Nicola
Cuti, Joe Staton, John Byrne, Jose Luis Gracia-Lopez, Frank McLaughlin, and
Paul Kupperberg.

Not content to rest on our laurels, Charlton Neo
is on the move, with new titles (and characters!) in the works and even more in the planning stages!

And for these new titles, we’re taking our cue
from the Charlton Comics of old! Mainstream comics have turned into a cycle of
events and stunts, continued and overlapping epics that bring a whole new
meaning to the concept of the “never-ending story.” Charlton Classic not only published
the entire spectrum of genres (horror, science fiction, romance, war, humor,
funny animals, hot rods, surfing, celebrities, as well as superheroes), most of them as anthology titles featuring a variety of
stand-alone, one-off stories by an array of talents.

That’s the plan here at Charlton Neo as well. Anthology
titles in all genres. Great stories. Awesome art. And, oh yeah. It’s all
creator owned, so when you buy The
Charlton Arrow or any Charlton Neo title, you’re not benefiting corporate
coffers but the writers and artists who labor long and hard to bring you the
freshest and best comics they can create.

Charlton
Action

E-Man by Joe Staton & Nicola Cuti

So many great stories and characters by so many great creators, we may need a giant-sized super-spectacular to showcase them all!

E-Man, one of the best and
most beloved of the Charlton Action Heroes returns in the first of a
3-part tale, with story and art by character creators Nick Cuti (former editor, Charlton Classic) and Joe
Staton (DC Comics, First Comics, and
Harvey Award winning artist of the Dick Tracy newspaper strip)!

Then writer Roger McKenzie (Daredevil, Captain America) and artist Sandy Carruthers (Men In Black, Captain Canuck) continue
the adventures of Spookman (originally
created by Charlton Classic mainstay Pat Boyette) that they began in The Charlton Arrow #1!

Also in the works for Charlton Action are
all-new creations by Paul Kupperberg (Superman,
“The Death of Archie”) and Rick Burchett (Batman, The Black Hood), Chuck Dixon (Batman, The Punisher) and Neil D. Vokes (Superman Adventures), and writer David Michelinie (Superman, Iron Man)!

Charlton Wild Frontier #1

Cheyenne Kid by Paul Kupperberg & Rick Burchett

Howdy, pardners! While DC just cancelled its one and only Western title, Charlton Neo is just setting out across
those dusty plains in this all-new anthology starring a mix of some of Charlton
Classic’s long-running and popular Western heroes and all-new
creations...including the never before published Soiled Dove by Chuck Dixon and the late Eduardo Barreto (Superman, The New Teen Titans)!

The first of a 2-issue limited series featuring
nine new tales of love and romance, all scripted by Kupperberg and all proving
that “Happily ever after” isn’t what it used to be! It’s a slightly skewered
look at love, with new covers by the great Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez (Superman, Batman, and Charlton Classic
romance comics veteran) and Dean Haspiel (The Fox, Billy Dogma)!
